Here's a little green flash I caught last night. I almost missed it because I was taking a series to show what it looks like when it's going to FLASH and the dang camera was taking its own sweet time downloading the next-to-last shot. Some green flashes are greener than others. This is a yellowish, smallish green flash, but still counts. The picture was taken about 1/2 a second past the flash's prime. By all means click on the thumbnail and take a close look at it.
Green flashes are actually pretty common in the spring and fall, when the atmosphere is dry and relatively cloudless. During the summer you don't see many flashes because they're hidden by clouds building up over the Gulf of Mexico. I wonder if y'all Left Coasters see many of these?
Maybe it should be called something besides the "green flash", something like the "emerald wink" or the "don't blink or you'll miss it", or the "no, it's not an after-image on your retina", or "look, it only lasts for a second or less, so don't turn away and start arguing about it." Maybe there would be fewer nonbelievers then.

Seen at low tide
- American White Pelican
Saw 30 in one flock on a weptember evening while fishing - Hummingbird
Finally, my first hummingbirds. Saw them on a fire bush in Crystal Beach, FL. My rental's neighbor's yard is all xeriscaped, which is ugly to me but just fine with the little hummers. At first, I thought they were the biggest hornets I'd ever seen. - Flamingo!
One of these dudes flew right over my house. I couldn't believe it. And please don't tell me it was a roseated spoonbill because it was a frickin' flamingo, dude! Huge and pink and right there above me. I was like so freaking out, you know? - Falcon!
Don't see these guys too often. Wish we did. Bet the morning doves don't. - Black Skimmer
These beauties are getting scarce, but one flew by yesterday at low tide on the hunt for minnows. - Dead sea turtle
cool, but smelly - Reddish Egret
These have been hanging out around the pool quite a bit lately. Must be a new group of adolesent birds -- the youngsters like to hunt where the water is clear, and it takes them a day to figure out there are not now and never will be fish in the swimming pool no matter how clear the water. - Sand Piper
- Brown Pelican
I saw a flock of about 200 of these at Disappearing Island yesterday, just south of Anclote Island on the west coast of FL. Good to see such a large flock. - Wood Pecker
They've developed a sudden interest in the orange tree, which just went into bloom.

In many cases, my most important resolutions come paired with the opposite resolutions, and yet both are important to my happiness.
